What is Indefinite Leave to Remain

What is Indefinite Leave to Remain?

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) is also known as "Permanent Residence" and almost all migrants in the UK aim for this visa status. With every type of visa, you are given a limited amount of time that you can lawfully remain in the UK. When your visa expires you will need to either extend your existing visa, switch to another visa or return to your home country. ILR allows a person after a set period of time (depending on the visa they are on – see table below) to make an application to remain in the UK indefinitely. The main benefits of ILR apart from ensuring that a person does not have to return home when their visa expires are as follows:

• No more immigration related restrictions on the business or work that you may do within the UK
• No time limits on the length of your stay in your UK
• You will not have to apply for anymore visa extensions
